Late Imam Khomeini placed seminary in the position of leading thought and culture in Iran and the world

Ayatollah Alireza Arafi, the Head of Iran’s Seminary, during his speech at the meeting, referred to Late Imam Khomeini (RA) placing the seminary in the position of leading thought and culture in Iran and the world, adding,” The late Imam Khomeini was the driving force behind great movements in the world, whose blessings created waves of thought and culture that resonated in the world.”

Stating that despite her short life, Hazrat Zahra (PBUH) left behind a great legacy, he said,” Hazrat Zahra is a supreme example of a perfect human being whose depth and inner life was very long and history-making.”

The epistemological and scientific authority of Hazrat Zahra (PBUH)

Ayatollah Arafi further noted,” On the one hand, the radiance of divine lights originated from the pure life of Hazrat Zahra (PBUH), and more importantly, Hazrat Fatima was in the position of mother of thought and knowledge and the epistemological and scientific authority of the infallible Imams (PBUH).”

The Head of Islamic seminaries said,” Hazrat Siddiqah Tahirah (PBUH) was both a medium of natural and material grace and in some way, she mediated in heavenly revelations, therefore her position as the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cannot be described or recognized by us, but being the daughter of the Prophet shows that their relationship was not merely emotional, rather Hazrat Zahra (PBUH) had a scientific authority as well.”
